SECOND OPINION PROGRAM
At times meeting another specialist to discuss the problem with your thoracic aorta is necessary. Try to find an aortic specialist at a center of excellence in your region. Some centers provide a second opinion over the internet and others recommend that the patient is seen in the office. To attain a second opinion click here.
NEW RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on recent published literature the guidelines for elective repair of an ascending aortic aneurysm associated with a bicuspid aortic valve has changed. Now patients without a family history of aortic dissection or rupture who have an ascending aortic aneurysm and bicuspid aortic valve should consider elective repair when the aortic diameter is 5.5 cm or greater.
